AJA Ki Pro - Manual (Page 96)

Ki Pro v3.2 www.aja.com 96
IMPORTANT: Gang control via the web UI is only supported under wired ethernet connections, not under
802.11 wireless connections. AJA recommends disabling the 802.11 wireless connections
when working with Ki Pro units under gang control. Leaving 802.11 wireless connections
enabled while operating Ki Pro units under gang control can lead to sluggish or erratic web UI
interactions.
Example:: You have a Ki Pro "Master" and a Ki Pro "Slave" both attached on a network where their
static IP addresses are 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 respectively—each with a subnet
mask value of 255.255.255.0. They are connected to a host computer with IP address
192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The host computer uses a web browser, like
Apple's Safari, to access the "Master" Ki Pro by entering 192.168.0.2 in the URL field of the
browser. The Ki Pro "Master" unit web UI should appear.
How to Use Gang
Recording
Navigating to the Transport screen, a "Show Gang Controls"
button appears on the left side of the screen. If "Show Gang
Controls" is clicked, a list of "Available Ki Pros" is presented. If
expected Ki Pro units do not appear, click on "Hide Gang View"
then click on "Show Gang View" again to refresh. Ki Pro information can take up to a few
seconds to be displayed. Finally, if Ki Pros are not listed after refreshing, confirm that the
Ki Pros are on the appropriate network, have the appropriate IP address, etc.

Parameters for each available Ki Pro will appear in the Gang Controls area. These include:
System, Input Format, Free Storage, Gang, Master and Settings. Ki Pro units that may be
added to a gang will appear under the System column. The Input Format column gives
information on what type of video format/framerate each system is receiving. Free
Storage allows for an "at a glance" view of the capacity of the media in each unit. Gang is
where the units can be added or removed from the gang. Master allows the promotion
of a Ki Pro unit to the "controlling" role in the gang. Settings allows for the configuration
of clip names on the Master and Slave Ki Pro units.
To add a Ki Pro to a gang, simply select the checkbox for the unit in the Gang column. As
a shortcut, if all available Ki Pro units are desired for a gang, select the "All" item below
Gang. Alternately, if you want to clear units from a gang, deselect them or use the "Clear"
option.
